rant away! that's what this is for right?

sounds like depression. the only thing i've ever found that works for me when i'm depressed it the realization that it's now about what i HAVE to do and not about what i WANT do.

i make myself go to work. make myself get ready in the morning. and if that doesn't work, i call a therapist.

or i could do 'the booty dance' for ya. that usually cheers people up. :) hang in there. feelings won't kill you. they just suck.

I'm so sorry you're having a bad day! I am having one too, and just reading about someone in a similar situation helps tremendously. What kamib said helps too, just going throughout the days tasks and really focusing on those tasks instead of on whats for lunch or dinner or dessert. Pre-occupying yourself at least refocuses your attention.

But, trust me, this is not a permanent solution for depression. I have been trying to preoccupy my mind for two and a half years and it's seriously draining. Therapy is your best bet.

Oh and it might cheer you up that your bullatin was posted at 11:11! haha THAT is lucky.
PS-I wrote a nice little motivational thing under the Depression community. I think it's called "Symbolic, Motivational, and True!" you should read it!

when i'm having terrible days i read affirmations. positive things like: today i will take as it comes, no baggage of yesterday no anxiety of tomorrow, just enjoying now. or a Bible verse. I've found the Bible more helpful personally but if you not into that, maybe other types of affirmations would help. tho it does feel sorta silly to read out loud to yerself, it helps. ps...putting yer beautifu, yer worthwhile, you are an assett to your family, you are loved, around your house in places you will see, like on the miror, on the spot you look at when you do dishes, taped to the remote, steering wheel of the car. you get the pic.

positive thinking.. now for me that is a big challenge

Your day sounds just like mine!--i guess i am glad that at least i am not alone in feeling how i feel

I know execlty how you feel and have been depressed and binging for weeks, but Ive got to the point where if I don't come out of it I will go crazy to i keep telling myself "I am in control if this situation, not my cravings, I AM IN CONTROL!!!!!"

Its worked so far today so fingers crossed. Try it. I know its easter said than done!

Hope you are okay though and think positive thoughts, YOU CAN DO IT!!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who replied. It's really helped me out. :-)

Something incredibly positive...

That instead of keeping quiet about your pain you chose to reach out and ask for affirmations.

That is WONDERFUL! :)

What does the moon look like today? It seems that the day is not balanced for many of us today...I am in a funk myself and just want to go home and get under the covers and watch reruns!!! As it has been said, already it is nice to know that I am not the only one feeling this way today. The key is for us to not waste our energy on futile stuff...We need to be kind to ourselves and abusing our bodies with not enough or with excess food or emotional baggage is never the best thing to do...((HUGS to ALL far and wide))
Prayers for Peace,
